The shifter cable may disconnect from the transmission

The transmission shifter cable may separate and disconnect from the transmission, causing the vehicle to not perform shifts intended by the driver, and the gear shift lever position not matching the actual transmission gear.

The driver may be unaware of the actual gear position and unintended vehicle movement can occur, increasing the risk of a crash.

What to do

Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will replace the transmission shift cable free of charge. The recall is expected to begin May 16, 2020.

Owners may contact TMC customer service at (877) 855-2867. TMC's number for this recall is RC000185.
